Additional Information

In ArcGIS Pro, use derived parameters in the script tool to get the layer to update its version. Add a new derived output parameter to the script tool of datatype feature layer, and update the script to use the following code, and the layer that is added is correctly switched to the new version. import arcpy from arcpy import env env.overwriteOutput = True database = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) featureClass = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) name = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) dbaseUser = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3) #create version in database arcpy.CreateVersion_management(database, "sde.DEFAULT", name, "PUBLIC") arcpy.AddMessage("Created version") # create featue layers layer = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(featureClass, "NewLayer").getOutput(0) arcpy.AddMessage("Created Feature Layer") #change version of database for feature layer arcpy.ChangeVersion_management("NewLayer", "TRANSACTIONAL", dbaseUser + "." + name) arcpy.AddMessage("Changed version") arcpy.SetParameterAsText(4, "NewLayer")

Workaround

The Change Version tool does work in ArcMap from a script, so it can be utilized there.

Saving the created layer in the script to a file respects the version change. When that saved layer is brought into a map in ArcGIS Pro, the version is changed successfully. This workaround cannot be used for table views.
